Raoul:
My God, who is this man . . .

Christine:
. . . who hunts to kill . . .?

Raoul:
. . . this mask of death . . .?

Christine:
I can't escape from him . . .

Raoul:
Whose is this voice you hear . . .

Christine:
. . .I never will!

Raoul:
. . . with every breath . . .?

Both:
And in this
labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera
is here (there):
inside your/my mind . . .


Raoul:
There is no Phantom of the Opera . . .

Christine:
Raoul, I've been there -
to his world of
unending night . . .
To a world where
the daylight dissolves
into darkness . . .darkness . . .
Raoul, I've seen him!
Can I ever
forget that sight?
Can I ever
escape from that face?
So distorted,
deformed, it
was hardly a face,
in that darkness.....darkness.....
But his voice
filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound
In that night
there was music
in my mind . . .
And through music
my soul began
to soaaarrrrrr!
And I heard
as I'd never
heard beforeeeee.....

Raoul:
What you heard
was a dream
and nothing more....
Christine:
Yet in his eyes, all the sadness
of the worlllld.....
Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and aadorrre . . .

Raoul:
Christine.....Christine

Phantom:
Chrrrriiiistinnneeee . . .
